Abstract

Technological advancements have led to the emergence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Students’ readiness to use 4IR technologies is thus essential for the development of knowledgeable, competent, and skilled graduates. However, ensuring students’ readiness to use 4IR technologies is quite challenging, leading to a need to understand the factors that influence readiness in this regard. In this study, a research model was developed for examining effects of students’ technical skills, attitudes, and knowledge on their readiness to use 4IR technologies. Data were collected from 182 students through an online survey. A two-step data analysis was then performed using AMOS. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the research model, and SEM was then applied to examine the hypotheses and relationships between the constructs. The results demonstrated that students’ technical skills, attitudes, and knowledge levels significantly influenced their readiness to use 4IR technologies. Recommendations for policy and decision makers in higher education were drawn from this research to increase students’ readiness for adopting and using 4IR technologies.
技术技能、态度和知识对学生准备在教育中使用4.0工业革命技术的影响
技术进步导致了第四次工业革命(4IR)的出现。因此,学生准备好使用第四次工业革命技术对于培养知识渊博、有能力和有技能的毕业生至关重要。然而,确保学生准备好使用第四次工业革命技术是相当具有挑战性的,因此需要了解影响这方面准备的因素。在这项研究中,我们开发了一个研究模型来检验学生的技术技能、态度和知识对他们使用第四次工业革命技术的准备程度的影响。通过在线调查收集了182名学生的数据。然后使用AMOS进行两步数据分析。通过验证性因素分析来评估研究模型,然后应用扫描电镜来检验假设和结构之间的关系。结果表明,学生的技术技能、态度和知识水平显著影响他们使用第四次工业革命技术的准备程度。本研究为高等教育的政策和决策者提供了建议,以提高学生采用和使用第四次工业革命技术的准备程度。
